Springtime is a Busy Time Here at Sevastopol

D.I. Made it to Globals!

By: Liam Schultz, Finn Mathews, and Ben Martin

Can you imagine building props, structures, and writing scripts to complete a challenge? Then go to the Destination
Imagination, or DI competition, and win medals and more! In DI, we make a mini-skit that has a problem that you need
to solve, depending on the challenge that you have. Sevastopol does Destination Imagination to give students a chance
to learn everyday skills like teamwork, good sportsmanship. least favorite part, filling out paperwork! To enter in each
competition, each team must fill out an expense form, and an Declaration of Independence (but to be honest it's not that
bad, your just talking about your accomplishments!)
This year the challenges the elementary is doing are Drop Zone, Fine Arts, and Improv. In middle school, the challenges
that they are taking on is Drop Zone. In the secondary level the teams are doing Drop Zone and On Target.
The challenges at regionals were in Sturgeon Bay school on March 2. State is at UW Green Bay on April 13, and Globals
are in Kansas City, Missouri, May 20 - 26. All of Sevastopol School’s DI teams made it to state, however, only 3 of the 6
teams made it to Globals, two of these teams are elementary teams. The team doing the challenge Drop Zone scored 3rd
out of 74 teams. The team doing the challenge Fine Arts scored 10th out of 73 teams. Way to go Pioneers!

In Remembrance of Mrs. Symons 1

Paula was the heart of the elementary here at Sevastopol!
She not only was our school secretary, but also our athletic
director secretary. She loved her students with all her
heart and helped ensure they were all taken care of by
providing clothes, food, and gifts; even starting “Paula’s
Pantry,” where kids were able to find any supplies they
may be in need of. Not only would we see her smiling face
during the day, but also at all athletic events supporting
the students, helping wherever she was needed. Paula was
the teachers and students’ biggest source of stability and
comfort, always there for a quick chat and sound advice.
She will be missed dearly.

Band Spring Concert 2

By: Cristian Ruiz and Damien Lardinois ~ 5th Grade

The Sevastopol spring concert is an annual event that people all over the
community can come and watch. It is hosted by Mrs. Hasenjager, the 5th through
12th-grade band director. Mrs. Hasenjager and her band kids work hard all year
for the Spring Concert. It is very difficult because they got their instrument in
October. The spring concert is when the 5th-grade and plays in there first actual
concert. The students got their music to work on about one or two months before
the concert. The 5th-grade band performed on April 30th. Mrs. Hasenjager has
been conducting the concert for nine years. It gives a chance to let all the band
players work together.

Kindergarten Carnival

By: Lily Snyder and Anna Gallardo-Ibarro ~ 5th Grade

Have you ever been to a carnival? With all the games and prizes and tasty treats? Well
Sevastopol holds one every year for the kindergarteners. This event is held towards the
end of the school year so that if parents do come, they can just take their kid home after.
The previous kindergarteners’ favorite carnival activity is the cupcake walk, where there
are numbers on the ground and then the teachers roll the big dice and then play some
music. When the music stops if the number you are on the same number as the dice, you
get to have a cupcake! Every year the fifth graders love to be able to help out with
whatever needs to be done to make it the best it can be. They help with the other
activities which include; a duck pond, ring toss, fun golf, and mini basketball. This
engaging event is held outside by the playground. This year will be the 5 year
anniversary. If you want to have a good time, and get some cupcakes too, head over to
the kindergarten carnival!

Reading Buddies

By: Leah Schopf and Lily Saltou ~ 3rd Grade

Have you ever heard of reading buddies? Well, reading buddies are
third-fifth graders who are partnered with 4k- first graders to
encourage each other to read more. This program has been going on
for about seven years. There are “partner” classrooms throughout
the elementary school, such as third graders in Mrs. Thomas’ room
and kindergarteners in Mrs. Huehns’ room. Why do we do reading
buddies? According to Mrs. Thomas, “It's an opportunity to help
teach the kindergarteners and be responsible third graders. Also, we
get to practice our reading skills in a fun way.” If you ever get an
opportunity to be a reading buddy, take advantage of it.

Buddy Bench

By: Juan Gallardo-Ibarra and Colton Blackley ~ 5th Grade

Have you ever used the buddy bench? There are a variety of reasons for this bench, but the most important is to make
new friends. You can look at it as a making friends machine. The buddy bench is located in an area behind the basketball
hoops and it is painted in flowers, suns, and rainbows. The creator of this amazing bench is the guidance teacher
Mrs.Retzlaff!! The bench was transformed from a rustic bench to bench full of possibilities, it was painted by Mrs.
Hutchison and some of the summer school students. “I feel like when someone I see is on the bench, they will be
accompanied by someone else,” explained Mrs.Rezalf, showing her confidence in the bench’s power to create friendships.
If you sit on the bench, other kids know that you need somebody to play with, if someone does come over, you can’t say
no. You need to open to making new friends. The bench has helped create and heal friendships for the past four years!

Virtual Reality System 6

By: Reid LeClair ~ 2nd Grade

Did you know school has a virtual reality system? Mr.Phillips
has a VR system. A VR system is something that makes it feel
like it’s in real life. Mr. Phillips got a grant last February. It
took a week to get all the parts. Mr.Phillips and his students
built it in two weeks. He wanted to help get students
interested in computer science and robotics. My class got to use
it in typing class. You put the goggles on and Mr.Phillips
typed a world for you and it made it feel like it was actually
happening. Olivia Baier thought zombies were going to attack
her. Ruth said,” A dragon fish was jumping out at her with a
weird bone!” Mr.Phillips brings it home every summer. You
should try it!!!

Classroom Volunteers

By: Selma Gigstead ~ 1st Grade

There are twelve volunteers in Ms.Bley’s first grade class. The volunteers
help us learn and write. Mrs. G is our only science teacher. Some of them
work in the hallway. There is at least one volunteer in the classroom every
day. My Grandma Jan is a volunteer and she says,”I like to watch the kids
laugh. I have seen such wonderful changes and improvements and
advancements. Kids have come a long way!” I like having volunteers in

Chickens in the Classroom?! 7

By: Ella Grooters and Brooklyn Ayer ~ 1st and 2nd Grade

Have you ever seen a baby chicken? Mrs. Ploor’s 1st grade
class went to the Flying Tractor Farm, to get some chicken
eggs, and a student brought in some duck eggs. Mrs. Ploor
brings in eggs to help us learn about the life cycle of a
chicken. We research and write informational papers about
chickens. This year nine chickens hatched, and no ducks
hatched. The students got to watch the chickens learn how
to drink, as they were growing up. One student and a
farmer took the chickens home.

Summertime in Sevastopol

Summer Activities in Door County

By: Aiden Baier, Aleah Volkmann, and Lydia Schultz ~ 4th

What is everyone's favorite summer activity? Egg
Harbor Fun Park apparently, with 79 votes! We went
around to the whole Elementary to take a poll on the
most popular thing to do in Door County during the
summer. We asked 263 people. The six options were;
the Door County YMCA, Kurtz Corral, Harbor
Village, Cave Point, Clark’s Lake, and The Egg
Harbor Fun Park. There are many others options.
Which one would you choose?

Elementary students in grades 1st-5th D.C.B.C.
participating in DCBC ~ Summer 2018
By: Logan Schuh and ~ 5th Grade

DCBC ( Door County Basketball Camp) is a basketball camp that is back for
its seventh year and is bigger and better. I personally have been to DCBC
and it was the best experience! They teach you in a way that helps kids
understand, and it's so fun. You learn drills that you won't anywhere else,
and the teenagers that run it try to teach and help the little kids and they
take it seriously. The camp promises to teach the “Basic and advanced
skills to basketball players in a fast-paced and a fun setting.” This event is
held at Sevastopol School, on July 15-18. If you have questions contact
Pam Jorns at 920-493-2178 or mail her at 6115 Martin Rd, Sturgeon Bay
WI 54235. Hope to see you there!

Summer Sports 8

By: Norman Luedtke, Liam Schultz, and Reid Kacmarynski ~ 5th Grade

More summer sports activities are equal to better sports teams, and here at
Sevastopol we have some great talent but we need some help on some sports
teams so we should have more summer school events to make our school
better and more skilled. A group of teachers and people in the community
have gathered together to form a group to provide more organized youth
sports. They held a meeting to talk about upcoming events for ages
Kindergarten-5th grade. They are trying to encourage students to develop
skills while participating in a variety of athletic activities similar to the
recent Saturday morning “Mighty Pioneers basketball Camp.” Activities
will include basketball, volleyball, football, baseball, softball, and wrestling,
with even more opportunities to come. These camps will help get children
interested because they can go to their favorite sport and see their friends.
With these events, there are many benefits and one benefit is that kids can
make good friends that like the same sports.
